I Archibald;
"Some of your friends have gather-
ed here tonight to do honour to you
and congratulate yon on your 80th
birthday. We believe you may take it
as quite a compliment, that despite
'Teta four -score years you are still
counted by the 'boys' as one of the
'boys' and that this 'night' when the
,`boys' could join with you in celebrat-
ing your birthday, has been looked
forward to with a great deal of en-
thusiasm.
"You have always been known as
an industriors farmer and your farm
,and farming methods have been a
credit to the Township; in which you
have spent your life, and the good
l'Clydes' that you raised have been
sought in many parts of the country,
las well as 'those good cows, Bob al-
ways had and 'his beef cattle.' You
have been always a friend to those in
need, whether it was a neighbour or
anyone who happened' along, and no
one ever left your door in need of
food or shelter.
"Whereas the 7th concession has
claimed you for a great number of
'years, we believe your early life was
spent in a log house on the 5th among
the Chesneys, Sproats, Archibalds,
'Wards. etc., and your fine character
and
geniality, developed in your
youth, have grown during the years
;and the succeeding generations of
;those 'early days' still count you as
'one of the boys.'"
Mr. Doig was. the recipient of a
beautiful maroon leather loun in
chair and footstool and a pipe, theg
presentation being made by John Mc-
Kay and Mervin Lane. Mr. Doig made
'a suitable reply, and short speeches
were made by Hugh McMillan, Mont-
gomery Patrick, Wm. P. Thompson,

"'Spud" in common parlance nowa-
days means a potato, but there was
a time two centuries ago when

the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet.
The Society was formed in protest
against the introduction of potatoes.
into Great Britain. Potatoes were
looked upon as something unfit for

But Employers and Workers Must Assist
During the war organization of manpower
was made possible through co-operation of
employers and workers.
This co-operation is no less necessary to
assist in organizing the employment market
during the present critical period.
Some manpower controls still remain.
These are still law. They are aimed at assisting
in organizing the employment market,
Remaining controls are designed to help
employers and workers—and actually regfiire
only minor assistance from the public.
YOU ARE URGED TO COMPLY WITH
THE FOUR CONTROLS WHICH REMAIN:
1—Employers MUST notify the National Employ-
ment Office of any need for workers, as soon
as that need is known.
2—Where employers engage workers outside the
National Employment Service they MUST
notify the nearest NES Office within three
days, that an employee has been engaged.
(Form NSS 312 is provided for this purpose.)
3—Unemployed workers seeking employment
MUST register with the National Employment
Office if unemployed for seven consecutive
days.
4—Generally speaking, any employer or em-
ployee MITST give seven days' notice to the
other party of any intention to terminate
employment. (Form NSS 120 is still required.)
Exceptions may be learned from the nearest
NES Office.
The partners to industry—employers and
employees—should help the National Employ-
ment Service to prornote a high level of employ -
meat by complying with these simple rules.
Only with public support can an employ-
rnent service give full assistance to the com-
munity.
Make full use of • the Local Office of the National
Employment Service. It is there to serve your
needs, and those of the entire Community.
